Call of Duty now shows you when a cheater has been booted right in the kill feed::Activision will let everyone know when a Call of Duty cheater has been booted from a lobby. It’s the latest in a multi-year crackdown on cheaters.

I actually love in game/lore abstractions of cheaters.
RuneScape once implemented a very robust new system for detecting bots, and when it was enabled, the game was designed to make a dragon spawn and take the cheating character with it’s claws. It’s not necessary, but for legitimate players, it takes out the frustrating experience of seeing the number of online cheaters and turns into a moment of fun/vengeance.
Is there a video of that online that you can recommend/validate was how it was. Love to see it.
It was removed from the game already, but here’s the Wiki page that shows how it worked. There are pictures of the claw, and the player becoming a robot.
Cheaters would also be teleported to a “prison island” where regular players could vote for ways to punish them, with several different animations for each punitive action. Mind you, this is all cosmetic and for the remaining players, because the account itself would receive the official bans regardless of the vote.
Happend to me once. I was lazy so I made a Lego mouse clicker. I went away to eat and upon return my character was killed. Not sure if I was banished to a different place. Sad times for a 13 year old.
In RuneScape’s case it was a neat idea, but you basically never saw it happen, at least I never did.
